Chapter 1009: Tracking Down
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Half an hour later, in Han Yun’s residence.
Ye Luo and Ji Siqing gathered in the hall.
Ye Chen looked at the two of them and went straight to the point.
“Next, I’m going to a place to look for the Blood Spirit Clan in the secret valley. It might be dangerous, so I’ll leave the choice to you.”
Ye Luo quickly said without hesitation, “Wherever Mr. Ye goes, I will go. Besides, I hate the Blood Spirit Clan to the core. Although I’m not strong enough to fight them, I can provide you with the best pills and healing potions.”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen nodded and looked at Ji Siqing. “What about you?”
Ji Siqing did not agree immediately. Instead, she handed the clothes in her hand back over to Ye Chen. “Although I don’t know much about the Blood Spirit Clan, I’ve heard about them. As far as I know, the Blood Spirit Clan members in this secret realm are all Supreme Emperor realm experts. Are you sure you want to take the risk?”
“You are only an origin king realm cultivator, so even if you can kill someone of a higher cultivation level, the Daoyuan realm is still your limit of doing so. If you act rashly, you will only be courting death.”
“After hearing that, are you still certain you want to go there?”
Ji Siqing’s attitude was extremely frank.
Ye Chen nodded. He was about to explain when Ji Siqing said, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
This sudden change shocked everyone.
As if afraid that Ye Chen would overthink things, Ji Siqing then added, “I just wanted to collect your body. Don’t get the wrong idea.”
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He knew this girl too well. Her face was cold, but her heart was warm. Whether it was to repay his kindness or something else, no one could stop her from doing what she had set her mind on.
After that, the trio went over to look for Han Yun.
Han Yun did not waste any time. With a clap of his palm, a huge elk pulled a luxurious carriage out.
“Mr. Ye, please get in the carriage. I’ll take you there personally.”
The three of them got into the carriage. Spiritual energy swirled around the carriage, and it was luxuriously decorated. Furthermore, the elk moved extremely quickly.
Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of something and quickly asked Han Yun, “Can you take me somewhere before we go to where the Blood Spirit Clan members are?”
He still needed his helper, Mo Ning.
After the ancient and present Mo Ning fused together, her strength should have reached the Supreme Emperor realm.
With Mo Ning’s help, things would be much simpler.
Ye Chen told Han Yun about the place where he had fallen off the cliff, after which the elk quickly made its way toward the location.
In just half an hour, Ye Chen had returned to the place where he and Shi Zun had fallen, or more accurately, jumped off the cliff.
The ground here was still battle-scarred, and traces of fighting could be seen everywhere.
Ye Chen jumped out of the carriage and looked around, only to find that Ye Lingtian and Mo Ning were nowhere to be seen.
Logically speaking, Mo Ning should have waited for him, and Ye Lingtian would not leave so easily. Could something have happened to them during this period of time?
Han Yun also sensed something. “Mr. Ye, this place is a little strange. I can sense that the members of the Blood Spirit Clan have been here, and there was more than one of them. Could it be that Mr. Ye has friends here?”
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He did not think that the Blood Spirit Clan would be able to restrain Mo Ning. After all, she should have reached the Supreme Emperor realm. If she could not defeat them, she would have at least been able to escape.
Suddenly, Ye Chen noticed something out of the corner of his eye. His cold eyes shot in a direction and he saw a tree branch covered in red cloth.
Ye Chen was all too familiar with the color of the fabric.
Mo Ning.
The fabric was stained with blood.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He grabbed the cloth and sniffed it gently.
Then, he formed a seal with his fingers and tried to use a search technique, but realized it would not work here. After all, this was the Blood Spirit Secret Realm.
Han Yun noticed the disappointment in Ye Chen’s eyes. He looked at the cloth in Ye Chen’s hand and asked, “Mr. Ye, are you looking for the owner of this cloth?”
“Yes, do you have a method of tracking her down?”
Ye Chen looked at Han Yun. Han Yun was an existence like those ancient mighty experts. Although he was not as strong, he should not be underestimated.
Just because he had no method to trace Mo Ning did not mean that Han Yun did not!
Han Yun reached out and took the red cloth from Ye Chen’s hand. “Mr. Ye, it’s not as complicated as you think. This cloth is stained with a small amount of blood, and by using the energy patterns in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, I can find the owner of the cloth with the help of some formations.”
“Only my cultivation is restricted here. After all, this place is covered by those fellows’ formation.”
“Thank you, Senior Han,” Ye Chen looked at Han Yun and cupped his hands in gratitude.
Han Yun did not waste any time and forced out a drop of blood essence as he kept chanting an incantation.
Suddenly, the finger that had forced out the blood essence began to form a seal. Its speed became faster and faster, and in the end, it almost felt illusory.
A strong gust of wind blew past, and the entire world turned dark.
Ye Chen could feel the terrifying power the blood essence contained. This technique was many times more advanced than the Great Dao Search Technique!
Han Yun sensed Ye Chen’s interest in the technique, so as he formed a hand seal, he asked, “Mr. Ye, do you want to learn this technique?”
Ye Chen nodded.
A smile appeared on Han Yun’s lips. “Since Mr. Ye wants to learn it, I’ll use this opportunity to teach it to you. This technique is called the Divine Seeking Blood Spirit technique. I learned it from that place back then. It has a miraculous effect when used in tandem with the energy of the Blood Spirit Mystic Realm. However, this spell might have an impact on cultivation and blood essence…”
After Han Yun finished speaking, he pointed with his finger and a beam of light shot into Ye Chen’s forehead.
A surge of information surged in, and Ye Chen immediately gained insight into the technique.
At the same time, Han Yun’s blood essence floated in the air and suddenly fused with the red cloth.
Moments later, the red cloth was covered in the blood essence, which then dispersed and condensed into a blood-red phoenix.
With the cloth in its mouth, the phoenix immediately flew off in a certain direction.
“Mr. Ye, get in the carriage!”
“Okay!”
…
An hour later, the blood-red phoenix slowly came to a halt.
There was no way forward, and there was only a mountain-like wall in front of the group.
Ancient text was carved into the wall, exuding faint blood-red light.
Han Yun’s expression changed slightly when he saw the text. “Mr. Ye, I can only escort you up to this point. Based on where the technique is pointing to, your friend must be inside. However, this is the territory of the Blood Spirit Clan. It’s very dangerous to enter rashly.”
“As for this wall, it’s like an isolation formation. It’s very difficult for me to break it while I’m within the Blood Spirit Clan’s formation. Unfortunately, I have to leave this to you, Mr. Ye.”
With that said, Han Yun quickly headed outside, as if something terrifying was about to descend.
Ye Chen even saw a hint of fear in Han Yun’s eyes.
Ji Siqing curiously walked to the wall and extended her hand. Her fingers touched the wall, but moments later, a terrifying force swept out!
